Kelly & Eric in East Falmouth, MA

For the couple who met during summers spent in Menauhant, a beach theme was a perfect fit for Kelly and Eric’s Cape Cod wedding. The Bride Kelly Loftus, 25, animal hospital manager The Groom Eric Fleming, 30, corporate housing provider The Date September 10 Although Kelly and Eric spent time together during their many summers in Menauhant, their relationship really began when each moved to Colorado, “and we’ve been together ever since,” Kelly says. After eight years of dating, the two were staying at a B&B in Vermont when Eric proposed with a snow-draped bridge in the background. As Kelly soon discovered, she’d been closer to the ring than she knew. For most of the drive to Vermont, she’d kept warm with Eric’s jacket in her lap (inside of which he’d placed the ring), “apparently causing Eric much stress!” Kelly says.
